A field manual on contextualizing cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and risks to connected cars through penetration testing and risk assessment

Hacking Connected Cars deconstructs the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used to hack into connected cars and autonomous vehicles to help you identify and mitigate vulnerabilities affecting cyber-physical vehicles. Written by a veteran of risk management and penetration testing of IoT devices and connected cars, this book provides a detailed account of how to perform penetration testing, threat modeling, and risk assessments of telematics control units and infotainment systems. This book demonstrates how vulnerabilities in wireless networking, Bluetooth, and GSM can be exploited to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability of connected cars.

Passenger vehicles have experienced a massive increase in connectivity over the past five years, and the trend will only continue to grow with the expansion of The Internet of Things and increasing consumer demand for always-on connectivity. Manufacturers and OEMs need the ability to push updates without requiring service visits, but this leaves the vehicle's systems open to attack. This book examines the issues in depth, providing cutting-edge preventative tactics that security practitioners, researchers, and vendors can use to keep connected cars safe without sacrificing connectivity.

  • Perform penetration testing of infotainment systems and telematics control units through a step-by-step methodical guide
  • Analyze risk levels surrounding vulnerabilities and threats that impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability
  • Conduct penetration testing using the same tactics, techniques, and procedures used by hackers

From relatively small features such as automatic parallel parking, to completely autonomous self-driving cars--all connected systems are vulnerable to attack. As connectivity becomes a way of life, the need for security expertise for in-vehicle systems is becoming increasingly urgent. Hacking Connected Cars provides practical, comprehensive guidance for keeping these vehicles secure.

I was so impressed with the format and layout of this book. You don’t have to be a car expert to understand and appreciate the lessons shared, nor do you need to be an experienced hacker or security professional. In fact, I would recommend this book for anyone who is looking to get a start in penetration testing, as it teaches the right lessons and builds proper habits for approaching an engagement. Likewise, the section on risk assessments was one of the most clearly laid out approaches to practical risk assessments that I have come across. I expect I will be referring back to this book on many future occasions.

I was searching for a book in the Connected Vehicle Cyber Security area and found this great resource written by Alissa Knight.   I wanted to understand today's issues as well as what security professionals and owners may face in the future.   Both areas are addressed in the book. What I really valued in the book was coverage of tools that can be used to analyze and test the connected vehicle interfaces.   Mobile (Cellular Data) and WiFi are two examples.  Detailed information on how to build your own test setups for both of these wireless interfaces are covered in this book. Finally, the technology coverage was complemented by documenting how to use a structured approach.   The book is laid out following the same problem understanding (what are you testing, what is actually in the target), testing techniques, and through report creation. Great resource!

I work as an automotive cyber security engineer for a major OEM defending connected vehicles. I recommend "Hacking Connected Cars" to automotive Red/Blue team members and to those looking to get into the industry. This book highlights the main steps to performing a pen test for connected ECUs. Connected Vehicles are just now entering the spotlight, and this book will become even more relevant over the next few years. Some of the topics I found interesting and am anxious to try out are:
1) Creating a Rogue BTS (Base Transceiver Station) (p. 108) for intercepting cell traffic to the vehicle
(***within the legal limits specified on p.112***)
2) Performing an Evil Twin Attack on the In-Vehicle Wifi Network (p.91)
3) Using BtleJuice to MITM the Vehicle Bluetooth interface (p.102)

Also very relevant to me were the sections on threat modeling, threat analysis, and how to communicate risk appropriately to an OEM. I do threat modeling regularly at my job and this book expanded my knowledge base on it.

All in all, this was an excellent book that disseminates Alissa Knight's 10+ years of expertise in pen testing connected vehicles. I will definitely recommend it to the team that I work with.

If you are in tech and want to understand connected cars, the introduction here is REQUIRED READING. It is an amazing overview and easy to understand. No one understands hacking and security like Alissa Knight. The chapters after the intro are well laid out and well written. However, they are deeper than my technical understanding can handle. If you are a techie, you will likely love it. Lots of clear How To Do It tips. Plus there are web downloads for checklists and how to's. I have already dog-eared the intro as I refer back to it frequently.
